Genesis 11:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

⁸ So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city. ⁹ Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. From there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
